WARNING: If a failure has been detected within the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system, the “sliding car” icon
will
illuminate steadily. Verify that the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system is
not manually disabled (push the AdvanceTrac
with RSC “Off ”
button located on the center of the instrument panel). If the “sliding
car” icon
still illuminates steadily, have the system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately. Operating your vehicle with
AdvanceTrac
with RSC disabled could lead to an increased risk of
loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC system provides the following stability
enhancement features for certain driving situations:
• Traction control system (TCS), which functions to help avoid
drive-wheel spin and loss of traction.
• Electronic stability control (ESC), which functions to help avoid skids
or lateral slides
• Roll Stability Control™ (RSC), which functions to help avoid a
vehicle roll-over.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC system automatically enables each time
the engine is started. All features of the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system
(TCS, ESC, and RSC
) are active and monitor the vehicle from start-up.
However, the system will only intervene if the driving situation requires
it.
The AdvanceTrac
with RSC
system includes an AdvanceTrac
with RSC
“Off” button on the
center of the instrument panel, and
a “sliding car” icon
in the
instrument cluster. The “sliding car”
icon
in the instrument cluster
will illuminate temporarily during start-up as part of a normal system
self-check, or during driving if a driving situation causes the
AdvanceTrac
with RSC system to operate. If the “sliding car” icon
illuminates steadily, verify that the AdvanceTrac
with RSC system is
not manually disabled by pressing the AdvanceTrac
with RSC “Off”
button located on the center stack of the instrument panel. If the “sliding
car” icon
remains steadily illuminated, or if the message center (if
equipped) displays SERVICE RSC NOW, have the system serviced by an
authorized dealer immediately.
